Tyranids kill teams are made up of a variety of horrific bioforms bred to pave the way for the numberless swarms that follow after. Each organism is adapted for the sole purpose of slaughtering other living beings so that their biomass may be absorbed and repurposed by the Tyranid hive fleets. Tyranids are clad in organic chitinous plates and possess massive blade-like claws, row upon row of armour-puncturing fangs, and projectile weapons wrought of living tissue. Together, the Tyranids within a kill team function like a single predatory beast, stalking their prey across desolate ruinscapes and through darkened underhives before moving in for the kill.
